One of our members, Kay Garner, discusses her story and how cavernoma have impacted her and her life. Kay has a spinal cord cavernoma at T2, which caused C7 complete paralysis when she was 26.
A cavernoma is made up of abnormal blood vessels and can be found in the brain and/or spinal cord and looks like a raspberry.
1 person in 600, in the UK, has a brain cavernoma without symptoms (asymptomatic). This equates to roughly 90,000 people - enough to fill Wembley Stadium. A spinal cavernoma is rarer than a brain cavernoma.
